The world is constantly changing, but some things remain the same.

We help you to navigate the complex and the unknown to achieve the worthwhile.

Maintaining a focus on trust, adaptive leadership, consistent values and foresight is as important as understanding how technology can help and hinder us to navigate this dispersed, virtualized, emergent environment. We will help you to understand how these elements impact each other, and provide tailored solutions to ensure that individuals and entities adapt, engage and thrive in current and future environments.
Maintaining a focus on trust, adaptive leadership, consistent values and foresight is as important as understanding how technology can help and hDr Fiona Kerr is at the forefront of shaping a future that is technology powered and human centred. As founder of The Neurotech Institute, she combines unique expertise across cognitive neuroscience, anthropology, psychology, engineering, and complex system dynamics to address how we use emerging technology, when not to technologise, and ethical practices.
Her trailblazing research debunked the assumption that humans exhibit the same level of complex and moral decision-making when interacting with trusted autonomous systems as they would with another human in close proximity. This critical discovery holds implications for defence personnel, doctors, surgeons, analysts, CEO’s and first responders and how they work with technology.
She is a trusted advisor on ethical use of artificial intelligence, serving a range of board and organisational roles. She is also a skilled science communicator, delivering numerous keynotes annually.
Dr Fiona Kerr is not your average neuroscientist.
Equal parts systems thinker, storyteller and scientific provocateur, she maps the invisible threads that bind humans to each other, and to machines.
As founder of the NeuroTech Institute and FOCUS, Fiona helps leaders steer through complexity with humanity intact.
She’s advised everyone from surgeons to soldiers, proving that proximity and trust aren’t soft concepts, but hardwired necessities for sound decision-making.
Whether she’s challenging AI ethics at defence HQ or lighting up the ABC airwaves, Fiona brings razor-sharp insight and lyrical clarity to the most urgent question of our time: how do we stay human?
